I received compensation in exchange for sharing this information and my honest opinion.
Did you know that 46% of pest control professionals have encountered infestations of bed bugs in college dormitories? Yuck! I remember how gross the mattress was in my first dorm and honestly back then I had no idea what bed bugs were. I luckily never had an infestation as I think I would have remembered the bites but if I knew back then what I know now, I would have been freaked sleeping on that old, used mattress.
Nowadays there are bed bug cases in dorms, hotels, homes and movie theaters so even though I don’t have to worry about a college dorm anymore, I do have to worry about bed bugs everywhere else. With this age being all about the environment and natural living, a company has come out with a plant based PROOF ® Bed Bug spray that has been tested to have 100% effectiveness in killing adult bed bugs and their eggs. PROOF ® Bed Bug spray is an EPA registered product and with its 100% effectiveness it is definitely a product to have on hand.
Why do bed bugs like dormitories? Bed bugs thrive in confined environments with many people. Without precautions, an infestation has a high risk of happening. Precautions such as fully inspecting suitcases before packing, especially if you were traveling in the summer and inspecting the mattress, headboard and all the furniture with the free Bed Bug Proof app available on iPhone and Android as a method for detection.
Here is a list of 5 FoolPROOF Must haves for dorms to combat bed bugs and enjoy the comforts of home in the dorm room.
1. PROOF bed bug Spray. The last thing you need is to make a trip to the health centre because of bed bug bites. Spray your bed and luggage to make you’re not taking an unwanted guests back home with you. PROOF bed bug Spray works for up to 3 weeks at a time.
2. Shower caddy. Placing everything in one convenient place makes your life easier because getting in the shower only to realize you forgot your shampoo is quite annoying.
3. Highlighters and lots of them. It pays off to highlight important material covered in class, it makes reviewing material during midterms and exams a lot easier.
4. Organizer/ Planner. Nothing makes college easier than being organized. Write down all your deadlines at the beginning of the semester so you can plan accordingly. Bonus tip: Write your due date two days before it is actually due, this gives you more time to edit your work.
5. Netflix/Hulu membership. It is perfectly acceptable to have a distraction from college, just be sure to log off during midterm and exam week!
WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a $50 Walmart GC & PROOF ® Bed Bug spray and (10) US winners will receive a 16oz. bottle of PROOF ® Bed Bug spray

fellows.
Thanks so much for this post! I'm a regular traveler, and staying in less-than-stellar motels and hotels across the country can be nerve-wracking. I'm particularly concerned about bed bugs, because I've heard that they can nest in your clothes and travel with you. Gives me chills just thinking about it. In any case, I'll have to watch for this bed bug spray you mentioned. If it works so well at controlling bed bugs, it'll be a must for my next hotel stay. Thanks again for sharing!
Thank You for the giveaway…was in Seattle last week for a few days...no bed bugs where we stayed !
I went to a picnic over Labor Day weekend and I rally could have used some bug spray. It was an absolute horror story without it.
The last placed traveled would be myrtle beach, sc and never experienced bed bugs
I haven't experienced bed bugs which I'm glad for, their have been some motels rooms that I would have liked to have had this spray to give me some reassurance with staying at while traveling.
I just took a work trip to CA & this would have been useful to have!
The last place we traveled was to St.Louis. I do not recall needing this product then, but would certainly use it the next time we visit New York :)
I've never experienced bed bugs (that I know of!).
I could have use it when I traveled to Colombia to visit my family. Thanks for the chance :)
